Plus: Wizards and Clippers pick up road wins in their finales
With All-Star Weekend looming in Salt Lake City, UT, it was hard to know what to expect in the Association’s final night of post-break action. Some just hope to see their team enter the off-week intact, myself included.
Unfortunately, Giannis Antetokounmpo, an MVP candidate through the first two-thirds of the season, had a tough fall on a block attempt and sprained his wrist.

Former NFL player Eric Johnson is among eight people who have been arrested and accused of human trafficking in Georgia. In addition to trafficking four women and one girl, Johnson also faces gang-related charges.
Johnson and the other seven men accused are part of Georgia’s “LOTTO” gang. The gang’s name is an acronym for “Last One to Take Over.
The running back was at risk of being released in the offseason.
The Packers and running back Aaron Jones have agreed to a restructured contract for the 2023 season, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. The decision means Green Bay will not release Jones this offseason and will instead keep the running back for at least the upcoming season.
Jones signed a four year extension with the Packers worth $48 million that started in 2021, but the team had a reasonable option to release him this offseason if they wanted. Jones will now make $11 million this year, along with an $8.
Why black is back this F1 season
In a sport where every millisecond matters, Formula 1 teams do everything they can to find an advantage on the track.
Sometimes that comes down to a matter of milligrams.
With pre-season testing around the corner, all ten F1 teams have now unveiled their look for the 2023 season. One of the biggest themes to emerge from this year’s slate of unveilings? The presence of black in each paint scheme. Or, more accurately, bare carbon fiber.
The reason? It all comes down to weight.
Take Mercedes, for example.
The player-centric, five-week league is back for its second season, giving basketball’s top talent an opportunity to compete close to home.
After a successful inaugural campaign, Athletes Unlimited Basketball is back for its second season. The player-centric competition kicks off Feb. 23 in Dallas, running for five weeks through March 25.
For many athletes, AU comes at precisely the right time—amid WNBA free agency and ahead of the preseason, which begins at the end of April.
Charles Barkley believes that the NBA is headed for a lockout sooner rather than later thanks to two factors, and both have to do with players around the league acting selfish.
Speaking with the media ahead of this weekend’s All-Star Game festivities in Salt Lake City, Barkley was asked about Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden all asking for a trade from the Brooklyn Nets in short order.
The landscape around college athletics has taken a drastic turn over the last number of years, with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey at the forefront. What started in 2019 as a research project into schedule changes in football, has now turned into one of the biggest topics around the sport with playoff expansion on the horizon.
I recently sat down with Commissioner Greg Sankey to discuss a variety of topics, including former Mississippi State coach Mike Leach.
Chiefs rookie Jaylen Watson was feeling himself during the team’s Super Bowl parade.
Kansas City celebrated its third Super Bowl in franchise history Wednesday, and the parade was pretty entertaining.
However, it was on a different level for Watson. He got himself so hammered he needed a wheelchair in order to leave.
Sometimes you control the party. Other times, the party controls you. For Watson, it was definitely the latter during the team’s Super Bowl parade.
Chiefs Kingdom!!! Y’all were responsible for this . YOU GOTTA FIGHT, FOR YOUR RIGHT pic.twitter.
One would think Ole Miss would get a little more of a home run trot.
The Rebels did win the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, last June, and made it look easy. Ole Miss went 10-1 in NCAA postseason play and held opponents to one run or less five times during that run.
Their highest preseason ranking in the four major polls, though, is No. 4, and they didn’t make the top 10 in one. The SEC coaches even picked Ole Miss to finish fourth in the SEC West.
From Alfa Romeo to Williams, here is each team’s look for 2023
It is almost — almost — time to go racing.
Formula 1 is back next week, with all ten teams headed to Bahrain for pre-season testing. The 2023 F1 season looks to be the most ambitious yet, with 23 events on the calendar, matching the longest schedule in F1 history. 24 races were originally on the docket, however, the Chinese Grand Prix has been canceled, and F1 has opted not to find a replacement.
There are also three Grands Prix slated for the United States, the most in F1 history.
